SHS Chair meets with founder of Historians without Borders

This organisation was set up in 2015 to create new ways for historians to contribute to conflict resolution and prevention. Recent HwB initiatives have included meetings between Russian and Ukranian historians hosted by the German Historical Institute, the University of Helsinki and the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs; and conferences on the aftermaths of the break-up of the Ottoman empire. They are currently seeking to set up a new history dialogue in the western Balkans (former Yugoslavia).
